DJ Amber: dj, producer, musician + creative soul

A lot of people still contact me for information on how to learn how to DJ. I taught DJing for five years, three of those with norcal DJ and Music Production Academy.

Unfortunately, norcalDJMPA is no longer actively holding classes. I have not heard of any schools of comparable quality in the Bay Area. I do know that Scratch DJ Academy, one of the very first DJ schools that started in New York, now has an LA branch. They probably have the most developed curriculum in California. If you look on craigslist you can probably also find individual DJs offering to teach one-on-one.

Even without direct instruction you can get pretty far if you're committed to teaching yourself by working actively with friends, watching tutorials on YouTube, and really paying attention when you watch a DJ in the club. Whatever you do, if you interested just get to it!
